[QUOTE="ecoli, post: 177047, member: 1815"] I might be from the far north, but I can relate. About 15 years ago I was unemployed. Had to finally swallow my pride and go on welfare just to get by. However I busted my ass looking for a job day and night and was willing to do anything. After about 2 months, I found FT employment and haven't looked back since. Was I glad welfare was there when I needed it? Yep. Did I abuse the system? Nope, although it would have been easy to do so. They were more than happy to just give me a check every month without enquiring if I really needed it or not (or if I was even working!). Lots of lazy asses willing to take advantage of it even though they could pump gas, sweep floors, whatever. If they did more audits of those on welfare such as drug testing, requiring financial records, requiring list of places they've applied to, etc. you'd probably solve a lot of the system abuse problems. If you choose not to be a productive member of society, feel free to leave! I'm happy to pay my taxes to help those truly disabled, those who are in tough times but are working to get themselves out, or those furthering their education to make a better life for themselves. I'm not happy to give a free ride to those too lazy to work. [/QUOTE]
